Wright.

Socioeconomic and educational disparities hamper the growth of our society. Growing up on the southeast side of Chicago, I have seen this firsthand. Individuals from a lower economic status don’t seem to have the same levels of hope, motivation and educational opportunities as those born into a higher social class. From reading Black Boy I have been able to further understand this idea because Wright represents these disparities. He is of low class, hungry and doubted. Wright's unfair treatment thus far in the book makes me hope that Wright, eventually, will experience the same motivation and determination like someone of higher social stature.
